00:00:00.533 --> 00:00:02.302
[music playing]

00:00:13.113 --> 00:00:14.814
BRIAN WOOD: It's thrilling
to be able to see something

00:00:14.914 --> 00:00:16.649
that's never been seen before.

00:00:16.750 --> 00:00:19.719
This emission that we're
seeing is thermal emission.

00:00:19.819 --> 00:00:21.821
Even on the night side,
the surface of Venus

00:00:21.921 --> 00:00:27.027
is so hot that it's
glowing faintly

00:00:27.127 --> 00:00:28.795
at very red wavelengths.

00:00:54.654 --> 00:00:56.289
GIADA ARNEY: These
Whisper images, I think,

00:00:56.389 --> 00:00:59.726
are really exciting because
they provide a new window

00:00:59.826 --> 00:01:03.696
into the lower atmosphere
and surface region of Venus,

00:01:03.797 --> 00:01:06.166
where these extreme
conditions exist.

00:01:22.148 --> 00:01:26.186
We have chemical fingerprints
in Venus' atmosphere

00:01:26.286 --> 00:01:29.789
and on its surface suggesting
that Venus might have

00:01:29.889 --> 00:01:32.358
been habitable in the past.
